2AM Ori's
first order of business seems to be to try and destroy the new giant
house. Darn it that's for sleep you got logs to claw up. ~ Pua's Mommy

10AM Aurora was not sure at first but after seeing Ori in the house she decided she likes it both are curled up inside. Early Christmas present. They needed more space. Only now they are curled up
in the back leaving room for another anteater or two but they both
weren't fitting in the old one. Ori was always spilling out and Aurora
had some wear spots in her fur.

Why a bigger home was needed

She first sat on it

She spent a good deal of time trying to claw a hole in the roof but failed.

Aurora joins the party

The whole family

While Ori clawed at the house Pua clawed at the log. She thinks clawing together is important family time.

Dec 3rd
5:30PM Aurora was sleeping in the closet till Ori came to join her, pushed under her and made her play.

11PM Snuggled with mom before heading to the closet tonight.

11:30PM Mom
washed the hammock and soon as mom hung it back up Ori went in it to
sleep. At least she let mom get it hung up. Ori normally hops in before
she's got all corners up.

Dec 4th
12:30AM Aurora woke up moody tonight but I've talked her into playing with me in the hammock

Dec 5th
12:30AM Can you believe I'm still sleeping? The others are up and playing and eating. They slept in the hammock together during the day

12:40AM Okay, Okay I'm up. Ketchup time.
A
tamandua toddling toward you on two legs in a dark room at 3 am is a
little odd looking but not pee in you pants worthy as one YT commenter
once said they would react. Pua walked from the closet at me wanting a treat. ~Pua's mommy

Dec 6th
10:30AM Got up had some ketchup and back to bed.

5PM Under 30F outside. Glad my washer is nice and toasty. I don't think I'll get up any time soon.

Mommies make the best pillows

Dec 7
1AM Hanging out with Aurora in the closet.

Trying out new sleeping positions

Dec 8th
Was playing with Ori in the little hammock last night while she climbed around hanging from the outside.
10:30AM Was up had some ketchup, time with mom, checked the closet but no one was there so had a bit of cheese and back to bed.

5PM Humans
are odd. They spent the day pickling and canning radishes and radish
relish. They should stick to ants. Find them, eat them, done.

11:30PM Went
to the back to pee but forgot the little fabric house isn't there any
more headed for my second choice of a corner and got put in the cat box.
I filled it up and came back to my room to see the others.

1AM Was feeling a bit moody too but now Aurora is finally playing with me.

1:20AM Didn't last long so I went to cuddle and play with mom but now I'm done and not sure what to do with myself.

Mom, that comment wasn't nice. You need to ban them from the internet.

Hug time

Snuggles with Pua

11AM I'm
up but mom says I can't go for a walk when it's in the 30's. She needs
to fix that then. I thought the temperature was her job.

11:44PM Too cold to go out, too late to go out, bah humbug.

Dec 10th

12:10AM Odd found a tiny ant on Ori she didn't want it so I gave it to Pua. Maybe was from their log. ~Pua's mommy

11AM I knew it was going to be laundry day so I got up and went into the hammock after my ketchup.

I went to see Santa at the barbers. I was a bit hyper with it being
laundry day and I accidentally scratched him with a back nail trying to
get down. He wasn't wearing gloves like last year. He was nice about it
but keeping claws crossed I don't get coal. The photos did come out
blurry though she was supposed to email better photos but it hasn't
happened yet :(

3:30PM I
went for a hike in the woods after Santa but mom forgot to bring a
camera. It was cold, lots of frost but I had fun anyway mom just didn't
let me go as far as I wanted. I did take a break and run around the outside of the little shopping center too. The Boy scouts selling trees weren't too excited "that's just our neighbor".

11:43PM Aurora went outside for a bit. I guess she wanted an adventure too.

Aurora on the cat tree

Climbing up

Aurora in the yard

Behind the garden

She's still got cheese on her face

Sniffing the shed

Behind the house

Running through leaves

Open the door

She complained when it wasn't opened instantly.

Dec 11th
12:30AM Did not want that wool blanket tonight. I knew laundry was done so complained till I got the nice quilt.

Dec 13th Ori was just hanging from the hammock grooming my rump while I claw at the log.

11:40PM Aurora
ran around outside for a bit. Mom Put a jacket on her. She didn't mind
at first but then she got her feet in the belt strap cuz it was too
lose. She was POed about the rescue.
The human fails to
acknowledge her slave status. She should not be mauling my royal person
with her lowly human paws. I insisted she bring me some blue cheese when
we got back in ~ Aurora

Aurora goes out in a coat

Coming round the garden

Aurora tamandua in a jacket

She went out a second time and I put the jacket back on but tight around the waist this time, but..
Aurora lost her jacket

She squeezed through a gap in the fence and left it behind.

Anteater in Fishing vest

Ori's first attempt at modeling

She didn't want to stand up

Nothing like a nice refreshing drink of cheese while fishing.

Ori's ready to join the Brownies

Bribes are yummy

She wouldn't stand I had to lift her

Yummy cheese

Finally she stood but went all see-through on me.(you can see through her snout, ear and claws on right hand)

Rolling over

Tried to get her to stand a second time but this time she rolled over.
Which is a good trick too so I gave her the treat but then she quit.
